Mumford and Sons - Babel

Cause I know that time has numbered my days
and I go along with everything you say
But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now,
the walls of my town they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
and I know that choices colour all I've done
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
I aint ever lived a year better spent in love

Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice,
And I'll believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is fast
but I'll be born without a mask Like the city that nursed my greed and my pride
I stretch my arms into the sky
I cry Babel, Babel, look at me now!
The walls of my town they come crumbling down

You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
as all we see will slip into the cloud.
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
you know our breath is weak and our body thin.

Press my nose up to the glass around your heart.
I should have known I was weaker from the start.
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part.
To tear, tear them down.
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down!

Cause I know my weakness, know my voice.
And I'll believe in grace and choice.
And I know that perhaps my heart is fast
but I'll be born without a mask
